Well for a start you don't need a HUGELY powerfuc computer just to host a game, a Athlon 2 Ghz with 512 or 1 Gb mem, will do nicely to host a 24 or 32 player game (if you are running a dedicated server you only need basic graphics and you can run with a less powerful CPU, say a 1.4). Your problem is not the computer but the bandwidth required to host a game, which weighs in at about a min of 5kbs per person downsteam, which makes it roughly 120kps for 24 players or 720 Mb per hour.
If your account can stand the strain go ahead, I will be very interested in hearing about the reults seeing as most ppl stick with 6 ish players for private servers.
Have fun |
